"I've been reading "Jillian" by Chicago author Halle Butler. The two main characters work in a gastroenterologists' office, a typical 9-5. They both seem familiar to me but a bit more exaggerated and awful than any of my old coworkers. I've had a few meaningless jobs and remember coming in thinking "jesus christ what is this?" and also wishing things had maybe turned out a little differently. This attitude spreads to other aspects of life. It's all fucked. This book has that depressing / hilarious quality that I'm super into."
